A Modest Proposal for Dealing with Corruption in College Sports

While the NCAA prepares its nuclear bomb for use against Ohio State in the wake of that school’s football scandal, I thought I’d propose a way to address the corrupting influence of money on student-athletes. Put simply, the problem is that NCAA Football Bowl Series (what used to be Division I-A) and NCAA basketball players generate enormous revenues for their schools, but all they get are their scholarships. Given how expensive college can be, this isn’t chump change, but it’s not hard cash either. So you can at least see why players might succumb to agents who come around with shiny cars, apartments, and the like.

And don’t miss the South Park episode on the “Crack Baby Athletic Association”.
